My First Attempt at Charcoal

Today I started “The Charcoal Drawing Course”. Wow, is this different.

Charcoal is NOT graphite. Charcoal paper is NOT Patstelmat. Because they both seemed similar at first, I I kept trying to make them work that way. Hilarious!

Put the medium on. Take the medium off. Repeat ad infinitum. I finally just had to stop fiddling with it because I could keep doing this forever.

My sphere is not “sphering” and I can see why now but it’s time to put it away. I need to wash my hands and probably my face also once I get a good look at myself.
